So, my dad bought a Wacom Cintiq that arrived today. He’s very happy about it, which is good, except I wasn’t aware of how much it cost.
He complains of chest pains, but it’s too expensive for him to use his medical insurance and go to the doctor. Never mind that he had a quadruple bypass over ten years ago and is past his “warranty date.” He is constantly complaining of aches and pains, of not having enough money for essential things, yet he bought this massively expensive toy.
I’m concerned about his foolish spending and lack of care about his physical health. He has these frightening rages and riding with him in the car is terrifying. Maybe it’s that he’s getting older, or maybe he’s coming out of a depression and is showing it by spending too much money, I don’t know. I’m worried, but he doesn’t listen to me and it’s his own money that he’s spending.
I’ll be keeping a closer eye on him. The Cintiq was a big splurge, but as long as he doesn’t start buying a whole bunch of things it might be okay. I’ll keep trying to get him to see the doctor and get new glasses and go in for a hearing test … Ugh, there’s so much that needs to be done around here and I don’t know what to do.
